&A~0ne Of the most horrible railroad accidents
to occur in this country for many years happened
on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, about eight
miles from Tifin, Ohio, and one mile from a little
town called Republic, about 2 o'clock Oh Tuesday
morning last. The Western express, which lsft
Baltimore at 9 o'clock Monday morning, consisted
of baggage and express ears, two day coaches and
two sleepers. When it reached the point named
it was descending grade on a curve and was
running at about fifty miles an hour, when the
engineer saw freight train only short distance
ahead, it having become stalled on the up grade.
He reversed his engine and blew for brakes, but
it was too late The engines came together with
terrific force, telescoping the express, baggage
and two day coaches, and carrying death and
destruction in their wake. Almost Immediately
after the collision the wreck took fire and this adj
ded additional horror to the scene. Many of the
passengers who were pinioned in the wrecked
ears were roasted alive, their suferings being too
horrible to attempt to describe. Out of fifteen
passengers in the smoking car fourteen were either
killed. by the collision or burned to death after
wards. 1t is believed that at least twenty per-
sons lost their lives and many others were seri-
ously injured. The passengers ip the sleeping
cars were not hurt. The bodies of those who were
killed were burned beyond recognition, in many
eases only leg, an ara or the charred trunk
remaining. 1t would appear that the blame for
this terrible catastrophy rests with The engineer
Of the freight train, who is said to have been
drunk and was running on the time of the express
trying to make Republic, where he expected to
pass it. Three Baltimoreans were on the train
and all of them were hurt, but not fatally. One
of them, Mr.. Henry Forester, is native of Bal
timore county and brother of Mr.. Nicholas For
rester, of the 18th district.

Innocent Men Sentenced for Life,
Baltimore American.

RuutWOTe american.
In 1877, William Poole and Joseph Font two
young men, were convicted of murder in New
York city and sentenced to imprisonment for life.
They convicted on the evidence of an officer,
who gave what he swore to be conversation
which he overheard between the two after their
arrest. They went to Jail. Two years ago Mr..
Shanks, New York journalist, while investiga-
ting the subject of "jury fixing" ran across the
case. He discovered that two men, whose names
were among the twelve of the convicting jury,
had mover been on the jury and had never heard
of the case. He went further and found that
Officer Noble had not testified correctly and Noble
admitted as much By persistence he gathered
the proofs and established the entire innocence of
the two prisoners. After much unnecessary delay
Governor Hill granted the pardon, and on New
Years Day Mr.. Shanks carried the papers to
Sing Sing that freed and restored to citizenship
the two men who had been unjustly imprisoned
for nearly ten years. The scenes were very af-
fecting, and when the two young men, now aged
by confinement, reached New York snd saw the
electric lights and the elevated railroads, they be-
came lost in wonderment. 1t is touching story
and had it not been for newspaper mans dill
gence and kindness, the great wrong would have
remained unrighted to the end

@-Wiiam II. Richardson, editor OF the Peo-
ple's Voice, who was convicted some time ago OF
libeling Judge Fowler in his paper, was brought
into Court here on Tuesday for sentence. Judge
Waters, of Beair, was on the bench, asked
Richardson if be had anything to say why SEN
tence should not be pronounced. He replied that
he had nothing to say further than what had
already been said in his paper, which was an
apology published jteS.Ris nGd nothing to do
with that and then pronounced the sentence,
which was two years in the county Jail and fine of
$500. The Sheriff then took charge of Richard
son and removed him to the Jail. Richardson
has nothing with which to pay his fine and of
that part of the sentence cannot be enforced
Judge Yellott having heretofore decided that a
fine is in the nature of a debt, and that a man
cannot be imprisoned for debt. The sentence
was much more severe than most people thought
it would be, and therefore created considerable
surprise, particularly to Richardson and his
friends, who did not expect the penalty to be so
heavy. good deal of sympathy is expressed
for Richardson in his trouble, but the general
opinion is that he deserved severe punishment for
his entirely uncalled for and malicious attacks
upon Judge Fowler. 1t is believed that the pub
location of the Voice will now cease. The paper
has had checkered and troublesome career and
il has been shown that the style of journalism
adopted by its editor cannot meet with success in
this country,

Logan.

Turf Field and Farm. Dec. 21aL

Turf, Field and Farm, Dec. 5lsa
Gen. John A. Logan, like many others who we're
prominant in the great conflict which wiped out
slavery in the United States and gave new aslra-
tions to the South, was self-made man. In the
last months of the war the troops massed at Louis
vile were impatient to be mustered out of ser'ice
and return to their homes. Lee had surrende'ed,
but turbulent bands were still at large and the
Government prudently waited about dischargng
its regiments. Gen. Logan was in command at
Louisville and he was conspicuous figure in tiat
city. His word, practically, was law. One after
noon as we walked with him through Fourth
street, he said "The contrasts in life are very
sharp. The first time entered this town and
walked where we now walk, I was poor country
boy, and looked up at the houses in amazemnt
and wished that might some day be able to re-
turn and command the respect of the people, who
either ignored or regarded me with an expression
ofpty. Nearly every poverty stricken boy, prob
ably, has the same wish when he is contendilg
with the rebufs of q strange city, but the with
does not always materialize. My orders are now
of greater moment to Louisville than the widest
dreams Of my youth ever thought would be the
case. The change suggests the color of "faiy
tale" 1t was not in boastful, but rather in. a
modest and wondering tone that Gen. Logan spoke.
The memory of his childhood's shadows seemed to
be distinct in the bright light of that aternsen.
The star of Logan did not set when he laid aside
the sword. In civic life he won new honors His
resolute purpose lifted him into high places and
now that he lies dead in the capital people II all
parties say that he was an honest man. He had
opportunities to amass riches, but he was faithful
to principle, and he died poor. He set good ex-
ample in this respect, and the country will cherish
his memory.

Med,cal View Of Cen. 1,oean,s Death


DR.. George F. Shrady, editor of the Medical
Record, in the issue of January LIST, says: "The
case of the late General Logan appears to be one
of those rare ones in which acute rheumatism
causes a rapid and fatal issue. On December 18th
DR.. J. H. Baxter, of Washington, D. c., was called
to see him, and found him suffering from acute
rheumatism, involving the right wrist. He i'm
proved until the 18th, when he had relapse, the
hips, ankles, feet and both wrists becoming in
volved. Brain symptoms also appeared at this
time Though there was some temporary i'm
provement on the 21st and 22d, the symptoms, on
the whole, became gradually more severe, the in
tervals of full consciousness shorter, until early
on the morning of December Goth, when he be.
came comatose. He died twelve hours later
The cerebral symptoms were those of congestion
of the brain. Acute rheumatism is so rarely
cause of death that some complications ex-
pected, and almost always found in fatal cases.
When death does occur it is, as q rule with cere-
bral symptoms, as was the case with Senator
Logan. Such symptoms are most liable to de-
velop in persons whose nervous system has been
subjected to tremendous strains, or to the tonic
effects of narcotic stimulants. No doubt, the ex-
hausting political and literary labors of the de-
ceased had made it possible for the rheumatic
poison to attack and paralyze his nervous centers
thus bringing to fatal issue disease that in 81
per cent. of cases is perfectly free from danger to
life."

STATE CONTROLLERS RHeoRT.

The annual report Of Hon. ]. Frank Turner
Comptroller of the State Treasury, for the fiscal
year ended, September 3Oth, 1886, makes a good
exhibit of the finances of the State. 1t shows
(says The SAM that notwithstanding the business
depression the State revenue has about equaled
the average during the past nine years. The esti-
mated balance for the fiscal year 1887 will, he
thinks. be ample to maintain the sinking funds
and leave enough besides, "to insure the treasury
officers against embarrassment in providing the
means necessary for an efficient administration OF
the public affairs of our State" The sinking
fund investments amount to S1,753, Pools, and
Notwithstanding the heavy drain of legislative
expenses and appropriations the sinking funds
have been maintained in their integrity. The
disbursements for the oyster fund amounted to
sos, 6O0.62, while the receipts were $5l ,057.74
The revenue under the new oyster law, it is stated
will not be sufficient to maintain the present SER
vice by at least $780, 900 year. The Comptroller
expresses the opinion that after the dredging sea-
son is over the board of public works will devise
some plan "by which the expenditures of the fiscal
year 1887 shall be kept within the current revenues
from this source" The total State debt is shown
to be SIC, $50, $3.50, to offset which paying
securities held by the State amounting to 1885,
275, sc. cnd mich the Cnmntroller saws would
yield, if sold, handsome premlum-a million
u
too large an estimate. Deducting them at their
face value the net debt would be $6,9l4.159,6 S.
The Comptroller speaks with satisfaction of the
success of the scheme for refunding maturing OBJ
legations at lower rate of interest, which, when
cousummated, is expected to save in interest over
$4,000 per annum, and makes the gratifying
statement that the States credit has benefited and
its securities placed "among those which are most
sought for" The total reduction of the deb in
the past three years is stated to be ,7SLS9,
or an average of $423,910.6S year. To exlin-
guish the debt tax of 81 cents the Comptroller
thinks it will be necessary only to maintain the
present revenues FIVE years longer, with the sam
economy and conservatism on the part of the
Legislature as at the past two sessions. The
Comptroller, however, thinks the debt tax might
be reduced gradually, and that the next LegiIla-
ture can probably take off one and onehalf cents.
The unremunerative assets amount to the sun of
1928, 1885, O34O6 of which $25. 81, 966.53 is on ac-
count of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal With
reference to the latter the Comptroller expresses
the opinion that Something heroic must be dore. .
He also calls attention to the tax on the treasury
imposed by the tobacco inspection system, and
renews his suggestion that the State treasury be
relieved "from every tax growing out Of the in
spection of tobacco"

NEWS NOTES FROM WASHINGTON.

The entire funded debt of the District OF Co.
lumbia foots up SCI 100000.
President Cleveland had high opinion OF
Gen. Logan and esteemed him as friend.
The reduction of the public debt during the
month of December amounted to about S9,OO0, OOO.
Among the people who paid their respects 70
President Cleveland and his wife on New Year
day was Col. Fred. Grant and Mr.. Walker Blaine.
Both we're cordially received.
When the Senate reassembled on Monday
Senator Cullom formally announced the death OF
his colleague, Senator Logan, and the Senate
adjourned as mark Of respect to his memory.
Thousands of people passed through the 70.
tunda of the Capitol on Thursday and Friday OF
last week to gaze for the last time upon the NOR
tai remains of Gen. Logan. There were many
very affecting scenes while the remains were lying
in state and it was an occasion that will long be
remembered.
Congressman Reid, of North Caralina, writes
from Canada to Speaker Carlisle, notifying him
that he has sent his resignation to the Governor
of his State. Reid is ahaut. an&is fascality.-
He is young man and had, apparently, very
bright future.
Contributions to the Logan fund in Wash
ington amounted to $4,000 up to Tuesday last,
and this sum was invested in four per cent. Gov
eminent bonds, registered in Mrs. Logan's name.
Her husbands friends in Chicago also sent her
$4,000 in checks, the result of the first days sub
scription in that city.
Hon. L. Q. c. Lamar, Secretary of the Inte-
rior, was married at Macon, Ca, at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning, to Mrs. William S. Holt, a
wealthy widow of that city. The wedding was a
very quiet affair, only the lady's immediate fami-
ly being present 1t is stated that Mrs. Holt has
an income of from 10000 to $4,000 year.
The New year reception ut the White House
always an event looked forward to with much
interest in Washington--was a very brilliant affair
and was largely attended. The President, although
still suffering somewhat from his rheumatic at
tack, went through the ordeal with becoming dig
nifty but was pretty well used up after shaking
thousands of hands. Mrs. Cleveland received with
her husband and stood the hand shaking with re-
rlra hla rfit
